Yes another Musicmaster Bass, this one from 1975 and in Dakota Red.
Its refinished to the original Dakota Red - mostly original - a few minor changed parts (that were missing or incorrect when I got it).
What's original:
- neck and frets
- pickup, with 75 stamp on it
- pots and cap, also with 75 dates on them
- MINT neckplate, with 6XXXXX series serial number, from 1975
- tuners
- bridge
- pickguard
Body wasn't routed or modified - just had some buckle rash and a poor attempt at a refin on it. About 90% of the original Dakota Red finish is under the new finish. Only issue at all with it is that it had an extra string hold-down at one point, so two small screw holes on the face of the headstock.
What's new:
- new finger rest
- reissue knobs
- new pickguard screws
- new bridge mount screws
- reissue strap buttons
- paint on body
The neck is dead straight once I adjusted the truss rod - frets are in very good shape and it plays evenly with low action and sounds great - like a typical early Musicmaster - pretty much the same as the 1971.
No case - but I can probably find a cheesy gig bag for it.
$600 plus shipping (you could probably sell off the pots and neckplate for $200+ on Ebay and make it a real cheap acquisition)
